- Fast bowler misses New Zealand series with injury
- ‘We want him to help us win Ashes,’ says Jon Lewis
Jofra Archer has set his sights on returning as a force in Test cricket amid an upbeat prognosis from England’s bowling coach, Jon Lewis, that his current elbow injury does not present a long-term threat to his career.
After reporting soreness in the elbow during his first-team comeback for Sussex last week, Archer missed out on selection for next month’s two-Test series against New Zealand. He was due to see a consultant on Wednesday and could go face surgery as soon as this Friday in an attempt to remedy an apparent impingement.
